The Fix - Why people dislike government (and why it matters for 2010): "A new Pew poll finds historic levels of unhappiness about the federal government and its role in the lives of average Americans, unrest that is at the foundation of what is shaping up to be a strongly anti-incumbent political year.
The current conditions in public opinion amount to a 'perfect storm' of disgust/distrust toward government, according to Pew poll director Andy Kohut, who cites 'a dismal economy, an unhappy public, bitter partisan-based backlash, and epic discontent with Congress and elected officials' as the critical factors in this building tempest.
While the report -- all 140 pages of it -- is chock full of great data, a few numbers stand out as typifying the current discontent coursing through the public."
